Good morning! My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recoving alcoholic/addict. I really liked this quote, and I could talk a lot about it, and I'm sure I have before. We know I'm not perfect and that I seem to notice other people's mistakes or flaws before my own. Sometimes I point them out. But what I really need to be focusing on is myself. I have enough problems, I don't need to worry about anyone else. Everyone makes mistakes, and I don't need to worry about theirs. I only need to worry about how I respond to others. I have been stuggling the past few days with some issues that I just can't seem to get over and they are going to turn into resentments if I don't get them off my chest or just over them period. I'm not perfect, but neither are they, but that's not what it comes down to. How does that saying go, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." I won't let it happen again. Just sayin... I have tried, and tried. BUt can only do so much. I just wanted to say I now have a DONATE button on this page. If you are reading this on the computer, it should be on the right side. If you are reading this on a phone it is ALL the way at the bottom. The money from donations goes to keep this page up and running, and also helps me give out my books free to those in recovery. Insider note. I am working on two books right now. One is "Another 100 Days (Sober)" and the other my daughter and I are working on. :) That's all for today. Have a great one!
